hey I agree there is no doubt it, its about the $$$ with the player safety thrown in there for window dressing. Those CAT 7s were stupid hot and I could easily see where a kid 40 feet away could get seriously hurt. I still have a knot on my shin where a 90lb kid sent one up the middle back in late July, I had 0 time to move. Not all orgs are moving to this new rule, I believe some of the travel ball orgs are going with the old 1.15 rule, not 100% sure on that but just what I've been told.

no doubt about it though there are gonna be a whole lot less dingers this coming spring/summer.
